Johnny Cash and Elvis Presley Impersonate Each Other

- Did you know that Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash used to impersonate each other.
The rare footage included dates back to a 1959 tour. Cash was the opening act; Presley, the headliner; and each night, "Cash would impersonate his friend and touring partner, and then Elvis would come out and do the same. An audio recording of Presley imitating Johnny Cash at the International Hotel showroom in Las Vegas is also included.
Unfortunately, there is no video footage available of Elvis performing his impressive impressions of Johnny Cash. However, an expressive audio performance of Elvis Live onstage in Las Vegas is included. Only the select few who attended were fortunate enough to view this spectacular spectacle.
Special thanks to DJ Dallas for inspiring me to make this video and researching the rare footage!!

Johnny Cash, what a legend. Despite everything he went through in his life, he never lost his sense of humour. I was astounded how much Elvis sounded like him.
He was the greatest. What’s your favorite Elvis song
Johnny did good considering the drugs he was on. He out lived pill Poppin Aaron Presley tho, sad he died at 42
Johnny got off the drugs w/ help….
Elvis never did…. If his Mom had been alive she would have kept him
straight…. He only had Yes men or
women around him…. No one
cared enough to try and stop him
from all the drugs and stuff he was taking….
@@gwenrichards1704 that's a lie
@@junepeterman1853 Mystery Train......and Way Down, right at the end.
Let’s just say this, Johnny definitely had the moves here and Elvis had the voice 😂
JC was a parody of Elvis, Elvis did an impersonation. He had the class to bet it right!
@@patricathomas7824 these guys are both amazingly talented men and definitely deserved more hype from their time
@@aubrie7861 they not exactly obscure/eluded by fame lol
Yep I totally agree 😆
all thow jhonny did sang as much for there difference in there vocals the parts that he did to me was amazing close I thought he jus didn't sing enough of it elvis did really good on walk the line but I hear the train kinda drop the ball my opinion both where great thow
Johnny being Elvis was HYSTERICAL! Who knew Cash had so much hip movement in him! Too bad no live footage of E doing J. Great vid.
Thanks 😊 Christina, I really glad that you enjoyed it!!
When they disinter Cash's bones in 2500 his hips are still going to be out of place.
Stupid
Elvis is King
June Carter Cash, thats who lol 🤣

When I heard Elvis laugh during “I Walk the Line” I laughed along because I could picture and see Elvis’ sweet and funny smile! I know when he laughs during a song, it’s always adorable yet hilarious!
Trust Elvis's Wife,he didn't walk any lines,he might have snorted a few,lol.
He laughed because he said “I kee my brown eye open all the time” hahaha
Johnny swaying his hips and then yelling in pain about took me out😂😂😂😂😂
Ditto!
Elvis is STILL legend! I'm 25, and my buddies and I STILL blast Elvis around the bonfire! Our generation still has hope folks!
I'm 16 and have always enjoyed listening to him but I just recently got into records and my Nana sent me 25 records of his which I'm very excited about. Hopefully he will always be recognized as the legend that he is.
I'm old and you've certainly give me hope young fellah!
Good job, y’all!
Right on right on good to hear. Keep up the good work.
Na, Bob's dead... There's no way that you can have Hope.
I thought Elvis did the better impression, but Johnny Cash was mostly going for laughs
i felt he was ridiculing Elvis
You are so right.
Agree, and they were really good friends, who went all the WAY back, toured the US by following each other in their vehicles on the back roads...Hence the beginning of the “touring” music concerts in the US in general...
@@pennydavis2637 Elvis sounded a little too high for my ears (which aren't the greatest). There was a little too much background noise on the Elvis recording. He also gave it a couple of Elvis flourishes at the ends of lines. I was shocked Johnny Cash could sing that high. He was a bass. It would have been great to see Cash do Elvis straight. Both were great fun. You could tell they'd both studied each other. Both were amazing talents.
Johnny was just being funny. Elvis was good, but he couldn't hit the powerful lows like Johnny. That's why you couldn't hear him and they were saying to turn the mic up.
I honestly had no idea how much they loved each other. They were really good friends. On music Elvis was spot-on. it's hard not to impersonate Elvis without some physical comedy
Good friends to what degree or of what sort, this makes me wonder. If they were DEEPLY good friends, wouldn't it be probably Elvis would not have become as heavy a user of prescription drugs as he became? I wonder if JC ever tried getting him off them...
@@christinabernat6709 Johnny had a pill problem at about the same time. I doubt he could have helped Elvis much.
@@christinabernat6709 proč Johnny,to měla udělat Priscila
Elvis laughing as he is doing Johnny Cash is just brilliant. So sad these two greats of those long gone Sun studio sessions are no longer with us. ❤️
I laughed so hard because Elvis was changing the lyrics and it totally worked in the song. I wasn’t born yet when this came out but my father who’s been gone a long time now used to sing Johnny Cash to me when I was a kid. Reminds me of my youth. RIP to two legends who’ve shaped music as we know it today.
Tom Petty asked Johnny Cash's wife, "since you dated Elvis before you gotta have a trunk full of love letters and stuff. That could be worth a million dollars!" And she replied, "no, Johnny threw all that stuff in the river."
Lol. I bet he did.
I was Crushed when I read the last line :(
@@leonardodalongisland I actually heard that story from his Nephew mark Allen cash there’s a place in Bon aqua Tennessee and you can see Johnny cashes vacation home and see his nephew mark Allen cash perform and he will even give you his autograph super nice people there and super cool experience
@@willythegman5509 So sad. But G Man, thanks for the info...would love to do that one day
God knows, I love you people: America isn't dead, it's just aging. SO glad we're still around to bark when we need to.
I’ve never heard this and it blows me away. While I knew Elvis had an incredible ear for music- could pick out s bad note or change a song around to make it 10x better, I had no idea he could mimic like that. I’m still in shock at how perfect his Impression was.
You are spot on in your reflections, my dear friend!!
Mayflower, reportedly, Elvis himself had 50 different singing voices.He mimicked many people..Wayne Newton, Tom Jones etc.No words describe Elvis' talent.Once when Pat Boone was leaving, Elvis broke out in a mimic of one of Pat,'s songs.
@@margarettaylor8107 you're absolutely correct, there are no words to describe Elvis talented voice. Elvis is quite possibly the greatest singer ever, his range and his ability to sing many genres is unmatched to this day.
Elvis is the only one that could another artist song and do it better and make it his own Elvis peed Talent
@@joelteague8032 I've always said, "once Elvis did a song, it's been done"
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery is a proverb that means trying do what someone else does, is a compliment to that person.
Hi cher
Yes. You are right. Amazing singers with good performance... How are you Cher Siegel?
The King wins again . I love Johnny and i seen an interview with Johnny saying Elvis was the best ever . Much respect to both . I'm glad they liked each other 👍👍👍
Hi David,
Thank you so much for watching and for your confirmation about about imitation being the best form of flattery!!
Keep on Rockin’!!
Johnny Cash over Elvis any Day
Johnny went for laughs, he wasn't actually trying to impersonate elvis

To a low IQ like you.

@@WhiteWolfTango So Johnny doing a silly impression of Elvis proves he's the King of Country?
@@giraffesareselfish9563 no, he proved it long before that
I can't get over how well they both did a good job especially Elvis. Very entertaining. Thank you for posting this great piece of history.
One thing is for sure. When Elvis impersonates another singer, his voice is going to make that song sound incredible.
Excellent observations!!
Two legends I absolutely love and listen to everyday. So happy they were friends.
Too bad they hadn’t filmed Elvis impersonating Johnny Cash.
@@VeeVeeVeeV suspicious miiiiinds!!
@@VeeVeeVeeV yeah lol
I know 😡 dammit
some guy named Zapruder has a video of it =OD
Where did VeeVeeVeeVs comment go. did he delete it
I have to agree with others here that Cash was going for comedic effect.. not necessarily a dead-on impersonation. And I agree that Elvis had the impersonation perfect.
Johnny was hating on elvis. Luv Johnny cash but that was not cool or funny
It's because Elvis had the talent to sing like Johnny, but Johnny didn't have the talent to sing like Elvis, very few could
@@charlespowell2534 Not even close. They were friends.
I thought Johnny was hilarious! Elvis provided a lot of opportunities to be teased! Johnny pretty much just stood and sang, I think; so that's what Elvis did! Maybe he could have done, "A Boy Named Sue", for a laugh.
Would have loved to have seen them do this together❣🤠😎
They must have had a great time doing this!
I like all the “Woah! Woah! Woah!” When Johnny starts convulsing, Elvis-style.😁
He was clownin’ 😅😅😅
Johnny was just goofing but Elvis really nailed it.
My mother would have LOVED this as her two biggest loves were Elvis and Johnny.
RIP MOM
The King's 'Walk the Line' was haunting. Love both of them. Why do we have to pick?! BOTH BOTH BOTH!!!
Elvis was the best by far. Course....I’m a very...long time (1956)...obsessed Elvis fan. Thanks...really enjoyed it. It’s another example of the versatility and talent that was our ELVIS...our Treasure. Elvis will be deeply loved until the end of time. Rest easy beautiful man ♥️🇨🇦
Once in a trillion years comes a performer like Elvis.
I am glad that you enjoyed the video, my friend!
He was the greatest. What’s your favorite Elvis song?
Two legends. Both absolutely brilliant.
They were very fond of each other - both pushed the boundaries in their respective genres to the limit.
He was the greatest. What’s your favorite Elvis song?
I laughed and laughed to see video of Johnny Cash, looked like he hurt his back trying to do Elvis. Funniest thing I’ve seen in a long time!
Me too, dying laughing at Johnny. He did a good job but with lots of humor. Elvis did great too. Too bad there was no actual video of it.
They’re both equally great impersonations! What a time to be alive.
Damn, Elvis sounded A LOT like Johnny, didn´t expect that!
I loved them both, and neither was better than each other!!
They were both ridiculously talented at mimicking sounds, but what is not talked about enough is how very funny both Elvis and Johnny Cash were. I realized long ago that much of their allure was in the fact that they never took themselves too seriously, despite their fanatical fans. Most of the time, they were laughing at the implausibility of their reality. The comedic talent they were given was just overkill for two guys with such musical talent.
Elvis killed it!
Elvis also could sing like many, many other recording artists such as Pat Boone.Remember, Elvis himself had 50 different singing voices of his own
Elvis impersonation was more difficult to do than Johnny's.Johnny never could have sung like Elvis.Elvis had a much bigger octave range of 4 to 5.Elvis was a comedian and could do a funny imitation if he prefered.They were friends.Johnny was the opening act for Elvis in the Louisiana Hayride in '55 .
You have a great understanding of the history of these amazing musicians!
Love Elvis doing anything, and of course Johnny is an American treasure. Both are American treasures. Loved both imitations.
Nobody did anything better than Elvis . With that being said mr cash was awesome .
Absolutely brilliant 👏🏻👏🏻..you can feel the friendship between these two. Johnny with his style, and Elvis wit his. Loved (and still do) both of these guys. On impersonating....Johnny was fun but Elvis nailed it. Great video 🙌🏻
Your feedback is spot-on, my dear friend. Thank you so much for watching!!
Johnny Cash is the only artist and performer that you could put next to Elvis and not being belittled at all.
Never seen the footage of Cash doing the hip movement.
Now I love him even more.
Back when entertainers were not only great but had a great sense of comedic timing and didnt get bent over shows the love they had for one another Johnny and elvis were like brothers and thats rare to find that kinda respect between entertainers today just doesn't exist loved both as a kid growing up in the seventies up until the passing of Johnny and of course elvis in 77 still listen to both and now im 51 music will never get any better than these two musicians today really dont have a true meaningful beginning its all abstract and im made it on Americas got talent and i got signed on a contract but they dont last long these guys lasted their whole lives whenever Johnny would be on a Christmas special or any music special hewas the one that everyone tuned in to see
Very astute observations. Thank you so much for your feedback!!
Enjoyed Elvis and Johnny very much, laughed a lot. So wonderful that they were good friends - no envy between them. Elvis loved and respected other singers and entertainers. Thanks for this video! ❤❤
Amazing ELVIS. RIP ELVIS. FRANCE.
Elvis never ceased to amaze me with all of his massive talent!
They definitely had some semblance of a brotherhood from the road together.
I didn't think it was possible for me to love Johnny Cash any more, but then I found this video.
I am so glad to have been the one to provide the reason!! It is great to see Johnny in a comedic role because he is usually so serious.
I love when artists have fun with their music and image. This was great.
Elvis was spot on. Perfect as always!!!
I would say his impersonation was like an American attempting a British accent, a bit muffled. Can still tell it’s Elvis while he’s doing it. I did like it but can tell it’s him.
@@ragantate3995 Yeah I know what you mean, it somewhat sounded like Johnny but too tidy not enough gravel in his throat. Also nice last name
I think they did such a great job with each other… Johnny Cash imitating Elvis Presley! He looks like him from a distance and sounded like him and moved like him. And then Elvis did such a great imitation of Johnny Cash! That shows how talented they both were.
Exactly
Cash is the OG Elvis impersonator.
I’m 60 years old and I’m from Switzerland (Lucerne), I’ve been listening to Elvis since I was 10 years old, I watched Elvis' live concert in Hawaii in 1973. I appreciate many kinds of good music, I also know all the songs of Johnny Cash and June Carter (Great) and other great artists. However, Elvis remains the greatest musician and entertainer of all time, but in all his songs, all the power of his soul comes out. One could also say that he gave his whole heart to his listeners. This way is definitely unique and I think it will remain so.
Wow! What a treasure! I’ve never seen this before. I’ll be sharing everywhere’s 😍
Thank you so much for your support and enthusiasm!!
Amazing singers with good performance still listening to this song... How are you Darla?

Hi Heydy, I would have to agree.
You have great taste in music!!
Johny the best
Elvis the king.
I always liked Johnny's voice, but I LOVED Elvis!!! ❤ I had never known about this. Thanks for sharing!!
Both were amazing.
Thankyooooou
I remember being in a studio in Nashville and someone said Elvis recorded in this echo chamber. Didn’t know if it was true but it gave me chills to possibly stand in a place Elvis could have stood. Yes, I’m a huge Elvis fan.
Very cool!!😎 Thanks for sharing!!
Makes you realize how good johnny cash was at songwriting and making hits, nearly every sing he wrote was a hit at the time
Both were equal at effort but Elvis took the classy road and just did it with class.
Elvis did one of the best impression of Johnny Cash. What a great talent.
Johnny did ones of the best Elvis impersonations ever
He was the greatest. What’s your favorite Elvis song?
I am so honored to know one day i will walk with Jesus and both these men 🙏 🎸
These two men were very respectful of one another - both very different and both wonderful gifts to the music industry. We were blessed by both.
I walk the line hits my heart heavy ,I always been partial to Johnny cash
Amazing talents!!
Wow! Elvis sounded just like Johnny Cash there! And Johnny did good on Elvis!! Thanks, really enjoyed!! 🎶🌹🌹
Elvis did not sound like john at all lol

Wow I never heard this but listening to both I have to say Elvis blew it out of the water he sounded just like the man in black if there was never a Elvis Presley Johnny cash to me would of been number one !
Both absolute legends, made even more legendary by the fact they did this
Of course, Elvis wins :)))
But both are great, especially because they were friends.

Difficult to say because there are so many. But I love to listen to Swing Down Sweet Chariot, Mystery Train, Only The Strong Survive, and so many more.
Great pics of elvis looked in his prime
Very astute observations, my dear friend!!
Elvis's first Vegas show was
Jul. 31, 69. & he wore all black. No one beats Elvis, he sounds just like. Cash!
Elvis is the King 👑
No he's not. Chuck Berry is
I beg to differ All due respect to you though. Little Richard is. He was black and that kept him from being King
@@seanpower660 Little Richard is
@@johnnyrotten3887 I respect your opinion 100%, music is different to each of us, it's part of what makes us unique! In my opinion Johnny B Goode if it was written now it would be a belter can u imagine hearing that in early 50's🤣🍻🍻🕺🕺🕺
ua-cam.com/video/5haMVR5my-s/v-deo.html
My mum is obsessed with Elvis
My dad is obsessed with Cash
To see there guys together and/or impersonating each other is surreal and so cool. I love them! They are the best in their genres and maybe even the best artists of all time.
Except maybe Micheal Jackson, he was the King of Pop and then you have Dolly Parton as well as the Queen of Country… so many amazing legends.
The King of Rock....thanks for all...
Cash even then was like a funny old man who has fun impersonate Elvis,and like millions try couldn't do a young Elvis dance moves,but Elvis was spot on ,but then Elvis was a one of ,and still soooooooooo missed.
Definitely Elvis hands down He could bring in the Cash😉
Johnny's was funny invitation of Elvis, but I think Elvis did a better job of impersonating Johnny.
You are spot on my friend!!
Perfect
He was the greatest. What’s your favorite Elvis song?
2 of the 3 greatest singers, Ain't that a shame they are all gone from this world none of which can ever be replaced.
Who do you think is the third best singer?
Michael Jackson

They were both great .I got to see Johnny Cash at the Broadway Theater in Pitman Nj ,in 88' or 89' . Great show .
Elvis was the most beautiful young man...even other men said he was incredibly handsome.
I thought Johnny did a great impression of Elvis. I enjoyed them both. Elvis is soooo handsome.

That is the funniest thing I have ever saw, and my very first time watching this. Johnny Cash impersonating Elivs Presley. 😆Hahaha!!!!😆 Both are Legends.
Hello 👋 Learley. How are you doing? Hope you are fine. I'm Scott Clifford am from Denver Colorado. Where are you from? You seem like a real country girl
Elvis Presley is great he is the king of rock and roll forever Jonny cash did a great job may the both rest in peace
Johnny's is more like a sketch indeed, Elvis' take on Cash is more accurate. Makes me very happy that my idol Johnny Cash and Elvis always had time for each other. When an unstoppable force meets an immovable object
Priceless!!!
So glad you liked it!!
"I keep a close watch on this mouth of mine" might just be the best mixup of lyrics I've heard HAHAHA! absolute Legends!
Wow, that's amazing, these two impersonating each other ...no one could do one another better than the men themselves. What respect for each other.
it would've made music history for them to both be on the stage & impersonating each other....talk about COMEDY GOLD...!!!!!
Elvis done the best. Elvis could sing any kind of song.

@@junepeterman1853 Slow coach me just foundyour reply, June. To answer you: the first song I heard him sing, Heartbreak Hotel. x
Pity no film of Elvis because Jonny was hysterical!🏴🇺🇸
I guess it was not standard practice like it is today, to film every concert back in the 70’s.
@@DJGerryfromStarlightMusic this was '50s! 😀
There was film earlier than the '50s though.
I grew up in Portland, OR, and listened to a radio station (KVAN) in nearby Vancouver, WA. It was common to hear Elvis Presly's "I don't Care if the Sun Don't Shine and Johnny Cash'es "Folsum Prison Blues" within 15 minutes of each other.
They are both so GREAT!!🧛🧛🏆😍
I'll have to watch this another 1000 times to decide. LOL This was great. Thx for sharing. 💖
Hi Muse 77, This is a coin toss. I think that Visually Johnny Cash probably did a better job impersonating, while Elvis won in the category of vocal imitation, so it was a tie. Thank you so much for all your support and encouragement!!Keep on Rockin' my friend!!
@@DJGerryfromStarlightMusic I agree with you 100%. 😊
The longevity of Johhny Cash blows my mind, what a star he was.
Two kings! Watching from Ontario Canada
Keep on Rockin in Ontario!!
This video brought warm tears to my heart. The best impersonators of each other ❤️
I'm not exactly a hardcore fan of either of them but Elvis really impressed me! Thanks for sharing.
Wow! Elvis is a good Johnny too. Johnny Cash could really do a good Elvis.

Oh, this was fun! They both did great parodies of each other - though I wish Johnny's was longer. He was just getting into it - and it wasn't half-bad. The Million Dollar Quartet session was incredible - in no small thanks to Carl Perkins and his boys. The session is truly amazing - and nobody was "showing off". They did a lot of the Southern Gospel they loved, and a whole lotta good ol' Rock 'n' Roll. Their camraderie and dedication to the music they all grew up with is truly captivating.
I never heard this its very lovely from both RIP together 🙏
He was the greatest. What’s your favorite Elvis song?
Oh, don't what is my favorite song I did like everyone but at time I hear There goes my everything it so sadly Elvis has think about Priscilla he did always love together❤️😭🙏
Wow I’ve never ever heard of this and I’m a huge Johnny fan before everyone else after the movie became one thank you 😊
Thank you for watching!!
Love both!! And love the five legends from Sun Records: Elvis, Johnny, Roy, Carl and Jerry.
Lol! What fun Those-Two had!! Elvis did a great vocal-impersonation, but I loved Johnny’s humour! (Guess it probably would have been easier to choose if We could have seen Elvis in-action. …Too-bad that wasn’t filmed!). Thanks for sharing this!! 😄
